In a new book, famous political insider Ed Klein alleges that details of Comey’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s personal email server were delivered to the Oval Office in a briefcase by Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

In an excerpt of “Guilty As Sin,” published on Newsmax, Klein says that Comey realized his investigation was being undermined when he saw White House press secretary Josh Earnest indicate during a news conference that the administration had details of the FBI’s investigation:

“It was Jan. 29, 2016, and an aide had just handed Comey a printout of today’s White House press conference by Josh Earnest, the president’s spokesman.

“There, marked for Comey’s attention, was Earnest’s response to a reporter who had asked whether Hillary Clinton was likely to be indicted as a result of the FBI’s investigation into her personal emails.

“‘Based on what we know from the Department of Justice,’ Earnest said, ‘it does not seem to be headed in that direction.’

“Uniformed FBI agents on Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s protective detail had informed Comey that Lynch had locked an armful of documents on the FBI investigation into her briefcase and delivered them to the White House.”

“More than once, Lynch had brought along a Justice Department prosecutor who was working on the Hillary case to brief the president’s staff.

“These briefings between Lynch and the White House (which Lynch publicly denied because they were unethical) had been going on since Comey’s investigation began in the summer of 2015. Comey was aware, of course, that his criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton was inevitably linked with the highest possible stakes in American politics.”

“If his agents turned up evidence of criminal wrong doing on Hillary’s part, it would ignite the greatest political fire storm since Watergate. And more likely than not, that would derail Hillary’s candidacy for the White House.”

None of this excuses Comey’s rather daft handling of the fallout from his investigation, of course, but Klein’s book could indicate just how deep Obama was willing to go in order to ensure that Hillary Clinton stayed out of trouble.

This is why we can’t have four more years of Democrats making sure that laws aren’t enforced.
